Recall Issued For Cheese Products Sold In Quebec Due To Bacteria Contamination

A popular raw milk cheese is being recalled across Quebec after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency detected possible listeria contamination. The product is the Dongé brand Coulommiers raw milk cheese.

It seems every week there is a new food recalled due to contamination of one sort or another.

This week we give you Dongé brand Coulommiers raw milk cheese due to a possible Listeriamonocytogenes contamination.

And yes, it’s confirmed that the cheese product has been sold in Quebec.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is conducting an investigation into its other products, which could lead to more recalls. So check your fridge. The raw milk cheese was also sold cut in half and in quarters.

The Listeria monocytogenes bacteria can be tricky; food may not smell or look spoiled. But with symptoms starting from nausea, fever, muscle and headaches, and more severe symptoms for those with lowered immunity (like death), it’s better to be safe than sorry.
